GerateWohl 4,336 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 When I once saw a comparison on YouTube of an old 4:3 edit for televion version of a movie (it was "Jaws - The Revernge") which was originally shown in cinema in 2.39:1, I was really surprised, that the 4:3 version actually showed more of the screen than the cinema version. I always thought, they just cut parts from left and right to fit the 4:3 format. But actually in the 4:3 TV version they added parts of the image on top and bottom.

Holko 9,499 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Yeah they often lazily did that, sometimes leaving things in the frame they shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Woke up at 4am to wait in line outside of Best Buy. Got a pretty good Black Friday door Buster deal on a few new aspect ratios. Jurassic Shark and Naïve Old Fart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 mstrox strikes me as a 1.85:1 or 16:9 guy. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he took part in that violent ABB (Anti Black Bars) protest a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember the first time I watched "Jacob's Ladder" on VHS in 4:3. And I was annoyed, because it seemed 30% of the time you saw a microphone on the upper screen edge. That is especially painful since it is such a visually interesting film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw (partly) on TV a ridiculous movie called "Sharknado" about a tornado that lifts gnawing killer sharks out of the sea to Los Angeles where they then kill the people in the streets. And that movie was better than Jaws The Revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 An endoscopy is less painful than watching Jaws The Revenge, and I should know, because I've fucking had one!! GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
